This frame allows you to create Department Groups to limit or restrict access to certain information or frames in M5. Department Groups allow for departments to be grouped together so that users can access each other's records.
If the department is not in a user’s Department Group, the user will not be able to view Employees, Departments and Units that belong to that department. The User tab on this frame shows which database users are allowed to access the Department Group.
Departments
The Departments tab allows you to assign departments from Department Main to the Department Group. The left column is a list of departments not included in the group and the right column is the list of departments that are included in the group.
To assign a department to the group, click on the department name to make it active. Click the >> button to move the department into the right column. To remove a department, click the << button to move it back over to the Departments Not Included list. When you are finished, click the Save button.
Roles
The Roles tab allows you to assign the department group to Application User Roles. You can also do this from the Role Maintenance frame.
To assign a role, enter a valid role from Role Maintenance or double click in the field to select one from the list of values (LOV).
For more information see Department Level Security, DAF Code Maintenance, and Dept Group/DAF Maintenance.
